Vijay Anantha Murthy

Vijay Anantha Murthy

Vijay Anantha Murthy is a Solution Architect at Keysight Technologies, an IEEE member, and a patented innovator with more than 20 years in the networking industry. He is the inventor of U.S. Patent 12,119,989 for automated configuration of network elements in design network topologies. As Keysight's Ethernet Alliance lead, he has driven multi-vendor 400G, 800G and 1.6T interoperability demonstrations at OFC and ECOC, and was featured in the Ethernet Alliance's OFC 2026 Tech Leads perspective. He also contributes to Optical Internetworking Forum interoperability events, including 1.6T linear pluggable optics work. His work spans RoCEv2 congestion control and AI data-center interconnect validation, and he authored a widely referenced application note on validating 800GE and 1.6TE interconnects. This session draws on that experience: at hyperscale, degradation within specification can quietly erode the AI services cities depend on.

Pari Patel

Pari Patel

Pari Patel is the Founder and CEO of Zone and a speaker on human intelligence, neurotechnology, and the future of computing.

At a moment when billions are being invested in making machines more intelligent, Pari is asking a different question: what are we doing to make humans more capable?

She founded Zone around the belief that the human mind represents one of technology's last great blind spots. We can measure our sleep, heart rate, movement, glucose, and recovery, yet most people have almost no objective understanding of how their own minds change throughout the day. Pari leads Zone's effort to change that by building technology at the intersection of brain-computer interfaces, consumer hardware, and AI. She holds 18+ USPTO patents across EEG and BCI technologies, and her work has been featured by TechCrunch and Yahoo Finance.

Onstage, Pari explores what happens when AI stops being technology we simply interact with and begins adapting to the human on the other side of the screen, and why the next computing revolution may be as much about understanding ourselves as building more powerful machines.

Jayanth Noonety

Jayanth Noonety

Jayanth Noonety is a systems power engineer specializing in Linux kernel engineering, system-on-chip power architecture, and low-level performance optimization for mobile computing platforms. His work centers on the trade-off that governs every modern processor: a device saves power by spending time in low-power states and feels responsive by leaving them quickly, and transition latency sets the price of both.

He works across Linux kernel subsystems including CPU idle and frequency management, energy-aware scheduling, device drivers, DMA engines, CPU latency constraints, and device tree platform configuration. His engineering contributions include reducing deep CPU sleep-state entry latency by over 80% on a flagship mobile SoC, cutting always-on processor wake latency from 83 ms to 10 ms, halving system suspend latency, and recovering deep sleep residency from 47.7% to 78.1% on a platform that had regressed against its predecessor. He authored the C-state breakeven characterization methodology adopted as the technical standard across three subsequent flagship processor generations, and built the automation that compressed each characterization pass from months into weeks.

Previously he worked on embedded mobile modem platforms, developing low-power 5G Layer 1 software, serving as global point of contact for six thermal mitigation features across sub-6GHz and mmWave subsystems, optimizing modem clock infrastructure, and resolving more than 100 production issues involving concurrency, memory corruption, and real-time operating systems. He also built automated validation pipelines for protocol state machines and low-level driver components.

His technical interests include real-time Linux scheduling, eBPF-based kernel telemetry, secure trusted execution environments, high-performance packet processing, and low-power audio driver architecture.

Jayanth holds a Master of Science in Computer Science from Arizona State University and a Bachelor of Technology in Computer Engineering from the Indian Institute of Information Technology Allahabad. He was a global finalist at the CSAW Capture the Flag World Finals at NYU Tandon School of Engineering, and has twice received corporate peer recognition for power engineering contributions on production silicon.
